"A Concise History of Black-White Relations in the U.S."

Given the recent revival of old tropes like "lazy black men" and "happy slaves," I think its time to review some U.S. history. We can do that concisely in six frames.

Of course, TGOP would like nothing better than "angry Black man" mantel to beat PBO. Wonder why WE (progressives) cannot simply support this Prez? Isnt he entitled to his appointments without NRA monitoring his choices and 10 Dems supporting NRA's position!? Is that an outrage or what?

I know the cartoonist personally, so figure I should speak up and say that this cartoon is by Barry Deutsch. Here is his blog with other political cartoons: http://amptoons.com/blog/2007/06/13/a-concise-history-of-black-white-relations-in-the-usa-2/
